To order Walmart drone delivery, you first need to check if your address is eligible, then select qualifying items and choose the drone option at checkout. This service lets you get small essentials like groceries and medicine delivered by drone, often in as fast as 30 minutes.
Check your walmart drone delivery eligibility
Walmart drone delivery is available only in select markets, and eligibility depends on your exact address, local weather conditions, and the rules of the drone vendor operating in your area. To verify if your address qualifies, visit www.walmart.com/shop/drone in your browser. Alternatively, in the Walmart app, if your address is eligible, you may see a "Let's fly!" button or a "Drone" option when selecting delivery. Current service areas include parts of Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and Texas, with planned expansions to other major metro areas. In some locations, you can also download the dedicated Wing Drone Delivery app or Zipline app to check eligibility and place orders where those partners operate, which is useful if you are already interested in buying, building and flying drones and want to explore different delivery platforms, you can even build a drone with Arduino to understand the flight control systems these services rely on.
Select eligible items for drone delivery
Not all items are available for drone delivery. Item eligibility is subject to weight and size limits, typically ranging from 2 to 10 pounds, depending on the drone vendor and your location. Common eligible items include small groceries, over-the-counter medicine, household goods, and last-minute gifts. When browsing in the Walmart app or website, add eligible items to your cart; items that are too heavy or oversized will not show the drone delivery option at checkout. If you want to practice piloting a virtual drone before your package arrives, you can use the drone in ghost recon breakpoint to scout enemy positions tactically.
Choose drone delivery at checkout
After adding your eligible items to the cart, proceed to checkout. During checkout, select "Drone" as your delivery option if it is available for your address and basket. This option will only appear if your address is eligible and all items in your cart meet the weight and size restrictions.
Confirm your delivery zone and safety requirements
Once you select drone delivery, you will be prompted to confirm a predetermined delivery location at your home, such as your front yard, backyard, or driveway. You must agree to keep the delivery area clear of people and pets, at least 20 feet, for the drone to safely deliver your order. This ensures the drone can descend and release your package without interference.
Schedule, pay, and track your delivery
Drone delivery operates within specific hours that vary by location and drone vendor; for example, some services operate from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., while others, like Wing, operate from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The delivery fee for drone service can be $3.99 or $19.99/$20 for non-Walmart+ members, while Walmart+ members generally receive drone deliveries with zero fees (though this may be a limited-time offer). After scheduling, you can make payment using standard methods. You can track your drone delivery order in real-time and cancel it any time before the drone is out for delivery. Deliveries typically arrive in as fast as 30 minutes, with some as quick as 10 minutes.
